This is because people believe that men can rule however some people continue to believe that women are "not ready to rule" because they are male (stating that women are below the status of any man). ]]> 2021-09-01 20:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/profameliaunderwood/k2g1hx95e2qpti9n/wish/1710808423 profameliaunderwood https://padlet.com/profameliaunderwood/k2g1hx95e2qpti9n/wish/1710808855 The reading touches on this by stating “women might be partly responsible for their lack of advancement because they accept things as they are”.]]> 2021-09-01 20:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/profameliaunderwood/k2g1hx95e2qpti9n/wish/1710808855 profameliaunderwood https://padlet.com/profameliaunderwood/k2g1hx95e2qpti9n/wish/1710809323 I resonated with what you said about your friend changing career paths because I used to be an elementary education major and then my parents were so concerned that I wouldn't make enough money to support myself.

Whether it be not being taken seriously when it comes to scientific ideas or having a male with an almost identical resume get the research position over myself, gender discrimination is prominent in all settings. ]]> 2021-09-01 20:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/profameliaunderwood/k2g1hx95e2qpti9n/wish/1710811813 profameliaunderwood https://padlet.com/profameliaunderwood/k2g1hx95e2qpti9n/wish/1710812330 Stereotyping specifically for males can be seen as beneficial. They are always looked at as strong and protective people, but that can also add stress to a man who might not feel like he meets those standards. ]]> 2021-09-01 20:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/profameliaunderwood/k2g1hx95e2qpti9n/wish/1710812330 profameliaunderwood https://padlet.com/profameliaunderwood/k2g1hx95e2qpti9n/wish/1710813133 These gender roles and standards are not only false but treat women as inferior, forcing them to work twice as hard to try and prove themselves and their abilities even if they are qualified for a leadership position.

This does not align with the true definition of leadership which is to motivate people to follow a vision.
